WEP / WPA: hardware or software limitation

Hello,

I have a home network with a router that would support WPA but I'm limited to WEP by 2 "weak points": devices that only allow WEP encryption.

I wondered if it was a hardware limitation of the device or just a matter of finding the right driver.

BTW, these devices are

- a Dell TrueMobile 1150 Mini-PCI card (under Windows 2000);

- a 3Com 11 Mbps wifi PC-card (with "Xjack" retractable antenna) (under Windows 98).

Any advice appreciated - TIA,
